111 Shifu Has Returned (1/2)
I secretly stuffed some of my beloved dried fish into Xiao Mao baggage and stood by the door to see him off. Before that though, I reminded him to obediently listen to the teacher's words and not stir up trouble.
Xiao Mao's eyes were red, his head down, unwilling to look me in the eye.
”Blue Feather Goddess is really nice, Teacher Huang is also very kind except for being a little too strict. But since Xiao Mao is smarter than Mother, whcih means you definitely won't get the whip. Even if you are hit, don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt one bit.” I finally understood Shen Jun's feeling of wanting to send me there.
Xiao Mao casually nodded, but did not make a sound.
I thought and thought, but still could not be at ease, thus I reminded, ”If you need to pee in the middle of the night, you can call Mo'lin.….”
”Mother, I'm almost 500 years old, it's been a long time since I've wet my bed.….” I wanted to laugh as Xiao Mao said this in embarrassment.
I scratched my head, and then said, ”The food Jin Wen makes is really delicious, you can go over there and try it, no need to be courteous.”
”I know.” Xiao Mao wanted to turn around and leave.
I quickly grabbed his hands, and then hesitantly said, ”That, be sure to come back in a month, Mother actually can't bear to see you leave.….”
”En!” Xiao Mao fiercely nodded.
Yin Zi stopped me from saying anymore, and informed, ”It's not like Xiao Mao won't be returning, so why are you so worried? Xiao'lin and Jin Wen will treat him as if he was their own son, why worry?”
I stared at the little figure in the distant horizon and couldn't help but call out to him, ”Xiao Mao, when your Father comes back, we'll give both our love to you! You are our most precious son! Don't worry!”
Xiao Mao turned around from surprise and looked towards me, his eyes red.
I joyfully gave him a wide grin, until the white sheets of cloud concealed their figures. Only then did I reluctantly return to the entrance so I could wait for Bi Qingshen Jun's return.
The stars have come out. The moon wasn't visible in the night sky. The bamboo whispered into the night while the cool wind danced around. Bi Qingshen Jun still have not returned, Miao Miao is a bit sleepy.
I mustn't sleep. If he comes back and I'm not here to pick him up, he'll be sad.
Just wait a little more, just a little more. My eyelids began to droop, and the scenery began to become fuzzy.
In a dreary half awake state, a thick robe was draped over my shoulders. I opened my eyes, turned around, and discovered Yin Zi standing next to me holding a candlestick. He yawned, ”It's getting late and cold, how about you go back now and wait again tomorrow night?”
I shook my head, and then tightly tugged around the robe, ”Can you bring my blanket over here? Miao Miao will sleep out here.”
Yin Zi let out a sigh. And then advised again, ”If Bi Qingshen Jun sees you treat your own body like this, then he'll certainly be angry.”
”Will he scold me?” I stared in surprise.
”It's not like you don't know that your Shifu dotes on you the most, so if he finds out that you're not sleeping, he'll be angry.” Yin Zi explained, using the tone as if he was coaxing a child to sleep, ”Go to sleep. Even if Bi Qingshen Jun was returning, It'd be in the morning, Miao Miao be good and listen to my words.”
I looked towards the entrance. I obediently nodded and returned to my room, however, I rolled around the bed unable to sleep. I miss Shifu, I miss Xiao Mao.
